Best travel destinations for audiophiles

Inna, I don't know why you are asking here for advice since you have already picked out much better places.

Imagine, suggesting a place, any place really, within the culturally retarded USA? And after Andalucia and Buenos Aires have already been mentioned? Honestly, sometimes I wonder if audiogon USA members understand that their country is only about 5% of the world, they seem to think it's more like 500%...

Well, leaving those insular newts aside, you might add Barcelona to the list, get the Ocio weekly and pick out any of a dozen live performances every night. Same comment applies to Madrid. Ok, looks like I'm sending you to Spain! But South America is certainly worth it, if you go to Northern Chile you can cross over to Salta in Argentina, go to Valderrama, then southeast to Cordoba, then Buenos Aires.

On my to-visit list along these musical lines is Salzburg, Wien, then southward to Italia.

Trebejo, Did you say the retarded USA?

Rrog, I said "culturally retarded USA".

I am not exactly or only asking for an advice. I am interested in opinions and other people's experiences. And perhaps I should've said "both for audiophiles and music lovers".

For a shorter music lover trip go to Monterey for the Jazz Festival and steep yourself in jazz for three days straight. If you like that kind of thing. Sometimes September is fog-free. Be sure you go to the Aquarium while you're there. Then take a day trip and drive to San Francisco and spend the day at Amoeba Records.
